I think it would be helpful to buy a book that is solely dedicated to the subject you have the toughest time with on the SATs. I got Barron's and the blue book as well, but my third book was Dr. Chung's because I struggled somewhat more with the math section than the other ones.

Don't get Grubers. After the first 200 pages, its useless. There are too many frustrating mistakes and once you get into the harder questions there simply isn't adequate explanation. Also, the way it teaches some concepts... its not worth learning the HARD way to do problems.

ppl, may i kindly ask you to help me download a SAT book from overdrive.com? Tried so many times, no success. Obviously, that site has its own method of downloading. It also has it's own program. I just couldn't use it.
Here's the link for the book: SAT 2400 in Just 7 Steps - Shaan Patel - eBook - OverDrive® Search
Pls, sb HELP!!!

My kid used Gruber and got a 780. It is the most highly recommended book out here on CC, and sure worked for her.

We saw Rocket Review mentioned for CR, but at least when we looked for it about 18 months ago it seemed to be out of print. She didn't really need much work on CR anyway, as she is a lifelong avid reader (best prep there is). But we did try to find it and couldn't.

I did fine with just the college board official sat book (the blue book). the most helpful thing is taking practice tests, of which the blue book has 10. don't buy into books that offer strategies and insider knowledge it's all bee ess
